+	<title>ISDN subsytem (I4B) overhaul</title>
+
+	<desc>
+
+	<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>:<a
+	  href="mailto:bz@FreeBSD.org">Bjoern A. Zeeb</a></p>
+
+	<p>ISDN4BSD (I4B) is the ISDN subsytem within the FreeBSD source
+	  tree.  Due to the fact that parts were still running under the
+	  Giant lock, I4B was disabled for FreeBSD 7.0 and needs locking to
+	  become MPSAFE.  In addition to that some of the code should be
+	  overhauled to match the current expectations of a FreeBSD device
+	  driver.  Ideally things will work on 64bit platforms afterwards
+	  and be endian safe.<br/>  Once this is done a next step would be
+	  to evaluate integration of missing device drivers and CAPI4BSD
+	  (C4B) into the tree.</p>
+
+	<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
+	<ul>
+	  <li>We do not want a rewrite from scratch or another
+	    implementation.</li>
+	  <li>In case you are interested as a Google Summer of Code student:
+	    you are not expected to finish the entire task but you will be
+	    welcome to stay with the project once GSoC is over.</li>
+	</ul>
+
+	<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
+	<ul>
+	  <li>ISDN line/PBX and ISDN card supported by I4B for testing.</li>
+	  <li>Ability to read and understand foreign C code.</li>
+	  <li>Ability to write C code.</li>
+	  <li>A good understanding of FreeBSD device drivers and locking.</li>
+	</ul>
